Missouri Area Man is Killed in Tractor Trailer Accident

At the busy intersection of Division and Kansas Expressway in north Springfield, a 42-year-old man, Edward Kropf, was killed after colliding with a tractor trailer.  Mr. Kropf's twin brother Edwin, the driver of the vehicle, was critically injured in the accident.  Neither brother was wearing a seat belt.

Edwin Kropf was driving east on Division when he ran through a red light at the intersection of the Kansas Expressway.  The driver of the 1997 Volvo tractor trailer, Mr. Christopher M. Doyle, was traveling north on Kansas Expressway/Route 13 when the accident occurred.  Mr. Doyle tried to avoid the collision, but was unable to do so and struck the Dodge pickup pinning it between the semi and a delivery truck carrying windows.  The right side of the Dodge pickup was completely caved in during the impact.

With the pickup sandwiched between the semi truck and the delivery truck and fuel leaking, rescue efforts were extremely difficult. Rescuers eventually were able to extract both victims from the pickup.  Broken glass, fuel and debris littering the highway caused the intersection to be closed until after 6:00 p.m.

Another car was clipped during the incident, but there were no other injuries.
